What remains of what was once the best ship @naval_service ever put to sea, sonar, air/surface search radar, helo ops embarked. The former mighty #LEEITHNE #P31 #PRIDEOFTHEFLEET is no more. Still a sad sight of what we once had. ๐ฅ photo rights, Frank Buck taken at galloo recycling centre, Belgium.
๐ฎ๐ช @naval_service Helicopter Patrol Vessel Lร 'Eithne' (P31) at Haulbowline Island, Cork Is, Sept 2011. Decommissioned in July 2022 after 38 years service, Eithne has been laid up awaiting disposal since 2023. #warship #navy #naval #LEEithne
Ex @naval_service #LEEITHNE #P31 seen in the past week at Galloo recycling centre in Ghent, Belgium awaiting disposal. Estimate of โฌ360,000 scrap value and still not beyond saving with a go fund me page if the right amount of media exposure happens quickly. Thoughts?

Farewell to #LEEITHNE #P31 on her final journey out of Cork Harbour. Have great memories of the four plus years posted to her. Was lucky to have sailed to South America in 2006 and serve on Operation Pontus in 2017 @naval_service
Possibly the saddest day I've ever witnessed in Cork Harbour in living memory. Our "Pride of the Fleet" , Our memory to shipbuilding in Cork and those who built and sailed on her and saved by her, gone but never forgotten #LEEITHNE #P31 @naval_service
After 38 years of service as the flagship of the @naval_service and served our country and @defenceforces with honour and pride, we are close to the time now where we have to bid her farewell. Departing #Cork Tomorrow at 1300hrs we wave goodbye #LEEITHNE #P31
Still, #LEEithne awaits to be towed to the point of no return at the other markers of #CorkHarbour @PortofCork @DoyleShipping perhaps a water cannon salute is in order when the time comes to say goodbye to "Pride of the Fleet" not like this send off ๐ซก
D'Estienne d'Orves-class built in the early 70's and still operational, while our very own and highly capable #LEEITHNE @naval_service off to the breakers yard, thanks in no small part to the "no vision" @IRLDeptDefence Still the most capable Hull we have!
Another @NATO Navy this time @MarineNationale visiting Cardiff this weekend.

@DefnewsIrl @naval_service A very sad sight @BerryCathal @LeoVaradkar @MichealMartinTD damn you for not modernising..where is the promised air search radar for the P60 Class? Where is the sub surface sonar? #LEEITHNE #P31 had these..your an embarrassment to our @naval_service
@GCraughwell @IRL_Navy @MichealMartinTD An interesting question that should be posed to government is who is paying the mooring costs for the #MVMATTHEW for the past 4 months at a privately owned Berth? If government can pay that, then they can pay to re-activate #LEEithne
December 19th 1984, #LEEithne is launched down the slipway #VerlomeCork as the most advanced naval asset @naval_service originally planned 1st of 4 hulls for which all modern #HPVs are designed from. A magnificent ship and unrivalled in her time
Disappointed to read such a low key decommissioning!
Proud to have served as Navigation & Boarding Officer #LECiara and as a seaman, Communications & Boarding Officer #LEEithne & again with Reserve in #Cork for Operation Fortitude during the pandemic ๐ฎ๐ช
Great memories ๐
Three Irish naval vessels decommissioned in one day https://t.co/GBt8JiFZD8
The news is reminding of that time I was involved in a #Naval #LiveFiring Shoot off of the #Cork Coast. Only it was much closer to Cork and I was onboard #LEEithne and it was with the #IrishNavalService, during Naval Familiarisation Training. #Defenceanalyst #securityanalyst
Proud to have served as Seaman and Communications & Boarding Officer #LEEithne, Navigation & Boarding Officer #LECiara & number of reliefs as #Navigation & Executive Officer #LEOrla amongst other appointments #Navy ๐ฎ๐ช
Great Photos @schooner1908 & #BZ @naval_service on 75 years๐
Congrats & Best Wishes to Ansoumane but also to Raul Muresan from #Romania whoโs home is #Waterford๐
Raul was member #Waterford Unit @naval_service #Reserve & we served together #LEEithne for #OperationFortitude supporting #HSE when he decided to join #Navy full timeโ๐ฎ๐ช๐ท๐ด
